The new numerology feels like science doesn't it.

Just find numbers, and demand an explanation of .... the numbers you found? But really imply some nonsense and demand a refutation of the nonsense you created.

What I'm wondering is why it even matters. Is a twitter follower count important for anything?

It's important for marketing. Also, it can help get verified, which certainly helps if you have a book to sell, or you'd like to offer lectures, or you'd like to become a "thought leader."
